US President Donald Trump called for the prosecution of former FBI chief James Comey on Friday (Apr 13), unleashing a vitriolic response to the lawman's tell-all memoir. Former FBI director James Comey is sworn in during a hearing before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Jun 8, 2017, a month after he was fired by President Donald Trump. (Photo: AFP/Brendan Smialowski) Trump branded Comey weak, a "LEAKER & LIAR" and an untruthful "slime ball" in a two-part Twitter tirade, as the first reports of the ex-FBI boss' highly critical 300-plus-page book emerged. News organisations including AFP obtained copies of the manuscript, in which Comey portrays Trump as an egomaniac - "unethical, and untethered to truth and institutional values." The book is due to be released on Tuesday, but Comey has already appeared on television to promote it and the White House has been strategising for weeks about how to discredit him. Trump led the charge himself on Friday, tweeting so … [Read more...] about Trump demands prosecution of ex FBI chief Comey

Former FBI director James Comey says in a new book that President Donald Trumpreminded him of a mafia boss who demanded absolute loyalty, saw the entire world against him, and lied about everything. According to excerpts of the book leaked by U.S. media on Thursday, Trump was also obsessed with the alleged existence of a video in which Russian prostitutes said to be hired by Trump urinated on the bed in a Moscow hotel room. In the book to be released officially next Tuesday, Comey, whom Trump fired in May 2017, says the U.S. president lives in "a cocoon of alternative reality" that he tried to pull others around him into, according to The Washington Post. Meetings with Trump gave Comey "flashbacks to my earlier career as a prosecutor against the Mob," he writes. "The silent circle of assent. The boss in complete control. The loyalty oaths. The us-versus-them worldview. The lying about all things, large and small, in service to some code of loyalty that put the organization above … [Read more...] about Trump ran White House like a ‘mob boss’: ex-FBI chief Comey

(AFP/HO) The United States, backed by Britain and France, has said it is ready to act with or without support from the United Nations, where the Security Council was to vote as early as Tuesday on rival US and Russian proposals to probe chemical attacks in Syria. Trump met his cabinet and then dined with top generals Monday, telling reporters "we have a lot of options militarily and we'll be letting you know pretty soon ... probably after the fact." Washington and Moscow set out starkly different positions at a stormy emergency session at the UN Security Council, where Russia's ambassador Vassily Nebenzia warned that the possibility of US military action was "very, very dangerous." Nebenzia rejected a US call for the world body to set up a probe to identify the … [Read more...] about Trump vows ‘forceful’ response after Syria attack

(HO/AFP/SYRIA CIVIL DEFENCE) An alleged chemical attack that left dozens dead in Syria's rebel-held town of Douma sparked international outrage on Sunday (Apr 8), with US President Donald Trump warning there would be a "big price to pay".

"Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria," Trump wrote on Twitter on Sunday, lashing out at Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Russia's Vladimir Putin, a key ally of the … [Read more...] about Trump warns of ‘big price’ after suspected Syria gas attack
